Fashion. Law. Realness. Me!

The Fashion Law Institute’s annual symposium at Fordham Law School is this Friday, April 12, and I will be there — not just because beauty, but participating in a panel called, “Real Possibilities: Recent developments in fashion law.”

Here is the official panel description, tweaked for Family Hour and plus a link or two (because actually blogs are supposed to have those):

In other words, there are other speakers! Here, look — the whole lot of us, and the respective recent developments on which we will be presenting:

Yours truly of Mandelbaum Salsburg – Brunetti trademark case to be argued before SCOTUS on 4-15-19 (no cursing allowed on this panel!)

“Navigating the somewhat counterintuitive appearance.” Heh. I would come just for that! But the main thing is fashion is all about new, now, next. And of course, so is LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION, right? Right?

Realness: Reality or not?

Well, anyway, there’s CLE credit for all this, plus a ton of other speakers including Names You Must Know, The other panels are, “Legal Realism: Designers’ IP and the ethics of attorney advertising” (sounds a little famliar, but there’s been a lot of water under the bridge since then!), “Keeping It Real: Streetwear, street art, cannabis, and the law of breaking the rules,” “Real Deals: Secrets of effective licensing and collaborations,” LUNCH (no CLE credit for that one but sounds fulfilling), “Hyperreality: AI, privacy, and virtual retail,” “Really? Dolce & Gabbana, Galliano, and other unfashionable faux pas” and RECEPTION, which should be well received. Register here already!

But will there be beautiful people? Please, darling! It’s the fashion law! In addition to Susan Scafidi, I promise you many, many beautiful people. So you’ll have no trouble picking out LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION!

The Title, the Blog and the Blogger

The question of whether consumers are likely to be confused is the signal inquiry that determines if a trademark infringement claim is valid. I write here about trademark law, copyright law, brands, free speech (mostly as it relates to the Internet) and legal issues related to blogging. That may sound like a lot, but it's just a blog.
